We only update when needed and we have the old phones right now which we do not have a big pile or drawer full as of yet. I am going to use some of my old ones as suggested above and then I will have less laying around. Thanks

I like keeping an outdated phone as a mobile device, and our family =certainly= does not upgrade at the first opportunity they give us.

One additional option is to look for a local or regional agency that provides free phones to people in need. I've seen this at domestic violence recovery centers to give potential victims a phone for their safety, or to provide military families a way to stay in touch more frequently during deployments
